Specialist note


These stylish tables recall the elegant furniture in the French taste supplied by the architect Henry Holland and executed by the Mount Street firm Marsh and Tatham for Samuel Whitbread for his country residence Southill Park. Their incurved supports particularly relate to a pair of occasional tables supplied for the Drawing Room between 1812 and 1815 (illustrated in C. Musgrave, Regency Furniture, London, 1961, fig. 4B).
